Dear Madam:-
Reference is made to the  two letters of February 15, from your address, in which is requested the Revolutionary War records of Ebenezer Eaton and Andrew Webb, both pensioners of Chenango County, New York.

Sir,
In reply to the inclosed letter of Mr. Stephen Howard, I have the honor to state that an application for pension under act of July 7, 1838, was made by Polly Eaton in 1848, who claimed as the widow of Ebenezer Eaton, who was a pensioner to the date of his death, of the United States. The claim was rejected on the ground that the marriage was not shown to have taken place prior to January 1, 1844, and the decision of the Office was affirmed by the Secretary of the Interior in August 1850. The surviving children having renewed the application after the death of the widow. Her death occurred in 1849. Ebenezer Eaton's pension was paid to the date of his death. There could, consequently, be no arrears due in his right.

The date of the marriage of Polly Eaton has never been ascertained. The Town Clerk's certificate must be produced. Should we have no evidence it cannot be difficult to prove that her marriage was before 1800, if it occurred at the time claimed. Her application is to be found to the date of 29 th July, 1821.

The applicant wishes to appeal from the decision of the Court to the Secretary of War, Hon. W. L.

I have the honor to return, herewith, Mr Wheeler's letter, and to inform you that the evidence filed in the case of Polly Eaton, widow of Ebenezer Eaton, does not show with the certainty required by the rules, at what time their marriage took place.
The service of her husband is admitted. If her claim is further prosecuted she should file a supplemental declaration showing that she is now living; or if dead, the certificate of some Court of record in the county in which she died showing the date of that event, and giving the names and places of residence of her children, now surviving, should be produced.

Sir,
The documents in support of the claim of Ebenezer Calen, which you forwarded to this Department, have been examined. The fact of his having served in the Massachusetts line is fully proved; but the amount of his property ($550) disqualifies him from receiving a pension under the acts of March 18. 1818, and May 1. 1820, and his claim is therefore rejected. The rule adopted on the 26 th of December last, which allowed persons possessed of property to the amount of $900 and upwards, to be placed on the pension roll, has been suspended. The papers will remain on our files.
